This will be another difficult day for Cardiff and their supporters, after Thursday’s confirmation that Emiliano Sala was killed in a plane crash. Cardiff have, to their immense credit, maintained their on-field focus as the tragedy has unfolded around them.

Like their visitors, Southampton must try to put emotions aside against a relegation rival on what could be a pivotal weekend in the battle for safety. Niall McVeigh
